Olivia. The post was not intended to be rude. It was to express how much work, time, money and effort has been put into something by someone.
I will express that the MPD Alberta contest only follows the guideline of MPDC, it is not run by or part of MPDC. I do not know previous issues as this is my first time organizing this event, and working with MPDC.
There are a number of conventions, showcases, contests and pole battles across Canada! I hope there continues to be more. International Pole Camp, Aradia Student Competitions and Showcases, Battle of the Pole are among the few running this year!
My only intent on this forum was to provide information on Canadian Competitions, my apologies if it was not received in that fashion.

actually when you have trademarked the name and own its corporate registered entity…you do own it.
The organization has paid tens of thousands of dollars to protect their idea and their content in the court of law. When you spend that kind of money, you have lawyers on retainer to enforce it.
To do it on your own would not only be despicable based on a personal & moral level, but it would be against canadian laws.
She could sue, she could take you to court and have you forced to pay rights fees and all proceeds, she could have a judgement placed against you personally which could follow you for eternity.
There are many legal aspects that could be looked at and taken, strictly because she has done it correctly and legally.
Personally, I respect this industry and what the MPDC Organization has done for the industry in Canada…which is why we have chosen to work with them, not against them.

Hi Everyone,
My name is Sheryl Walsh, and I am one of the organizers for the Miss Pole Dance Alberta 2011 contest as well as an upcoming competition to be held in Calgary in late spring 2012. Both events are sponsored by Platinum Stages and Mighty Grip.
Polevixen….you are correct, the competition is open to all residents of Canada, not just Alberta.
Prize of trips to Vancouver is from Calgary, and the entry to the MPDC2011 is guaranteed. Hotels are provided by MPDC Organization.
The title's of "Miss Pole Dance (anything in Canada)" are owned by Tammy Morris, owner of Miss Pole Dance Canada Organization and Tantra Fitness in Vancouver. Permission can be obtained by the MPDCanada organization to host a regional competition. We are the first to gain access to the usage of the title for an event…but hopefully we will not be the last.
The first MPDC was 2007, followed by 2010..and with interest gaining, the MPDAlberta was scheduled in 2011. I really hope to see more across the country in preparation for the MPDC in 2012. Having multiple provinces involved would be so wonderful!
Unfortunately, these types of events take months, sometimes years to plan and execute, so start now!!
She can be reached via email at misspoledancecanada@gmail.com
Piglet…you can contact me directly at misspoledancealberta@gmail.com if you would like any additional information.
As mentioned above, there will be another competion in Calgary in the late spring of 2012. I would like to extend an offer to any studio interested in hosting a "provincial" competition to please contact me..as we are looking at increasing the number of competitions in Canada…on a amateur and professional level…as well as including the boyz! 🙂 We want to showcase the best in our country!
Our main goal as event organizers is to ensure the quality of the competitions, as well as promote the art and sport positively. Both the MPDCanada and the MPDAlberta organizers are open to working with everyone!
